Topic: 5D Mark II Firmware 2.0.8 (Read 17367 times)

4th update since I got my 5D Mark II and still none of the requestsm of thousands users has been fullfilled:60fps and 720p video, auto iso mode and recently continuous focus but I don't know if the latter is possible with just a firmware upgrade.

How about being able to change the aperture by Full Stops? Currently, the only choices are 1/2 or 1/3 stops.

1) We won't see feature additions via firmware to any other models in the future, and

2) We have a someone who knows exactly what Canon will or will not do in the future, either through direct insider knowledge or by virtue of being a professional, perfectly precise prognosticator.

FWIW, there have been other examples of adding features/functionality via firmware in the past...direct joystick access to select AF points was added to the 1DIII and 1DsIII, SDHC support was added to the 1DsII, to name a couple. So, if you don't mind, I'm still going to keep on hoping that they add a user-selectable maximum for Auto ISO to the 7D...

(I know, I know, it's not a *big* deal, but it would be nice.)

Heh... When shooting manual, I want to be able to select both 1/2 and 1/3 increments!
